Deepsig Inc. has 3 pending office actions within the Communications technology area. These 3 actions are assigned to 3 distinct examiners, meaning each pending case is being reviewed by a different person. The portfolio is spread across 3 distinct art units, which indicates a match between the number of pending office actions, examiners, and art units.
The busiest examiner for Deepsig Inc. is BEARD, CHARLES LLOYD, who is responsible for 1 pending office action. This 1 action accounts for a portion of the 3 total pending office actions. Because there are 3 distinct examiners and 3 distinct art units for only 3 pending actions, the company faces multiple variables in its prosecution environment. Each of the 3 pending actions requires a unique approach tailored to a specific examiner and a specific art unit. This distribution suggests that the Communications technology being patented is diverse enough to trigger reviews from 3 separate technical divisions.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 1 of the docket's apps have a known mailing date; the rest are excluded from the tile counts.
Difficulty is derived from the rejection statutes on the most recent pending office action. §101-driven and multi-statute cases are graded Hard; §112-only and obviousness-type double-patenting cases are graded Easy; everything else is Medium. "Unknown" means we have not yet parsed a statute for that office action.
